Wipe cache partition: Samsung Galaxy S8+

Actions

Learn how to wipe the Samsung Galaxy S8+ using the hardware keys. If the device is not working correctly, you may need to master reset it and also clear the cache partition. These two resets clear different parts of the device storage. Unlike a master reset, wiping the cache partition does not delete your personal data.

Turn off the device.

Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Bixby key, then press and hold the Power key.

Press Power button to select.

Press the Volume down key to highlight “yes” and press the Power key to select.
